- Title
Retraction: Geo‐Archaeological prospecting of Gunung Padang buried prehistoric pyramid in West Java, Indonesia.
- Abstract
The article titled "Retraction: Geo-Archaeological prospecting of Gunung Padang buried prehistoric pyramid in West Java, Indonesia" has been retracted by the journal Editors-in-Chief and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. The retraction was made due to concerns raised by experts in geophysics, archaeology, and radiocarbon dating regarding the conclusions drawn by the authors. It was found that the radiocarbon dating was applied to soil samples that were not associated with any artifacts or features that could be reliably interpreted as man-made. Therefore, the interpretation that the site is an ancient pyramid built 9000 or more years ago is incorrect. The authors disagree with the retraction.
